Yes, it uses a tremendous amount of space on the backups and takes a really long time. If you ever restore from it you lose Single-Instance Storage. And if your server is set up properly (see the Ed Crowley Never Restore Method) then you really don't need it. Ben M.

Is there a downside to doing brick-level backups, though? We're doing this with BackupExec, and I see only potential benefits to it-no drawbacks.

Exchange brick level backup software, Anything beside NT-backup, has scheduling, can backup to NAS or DISKS, and that is Simple, and under 500USD? 30 mailboxes, about 60 gig store, needs to be backed-up daily, and restored just in case, to test, has scheduling, and how long it can retain a backup before it does a cleanup??
